Notes: This story has planned a bare minimum of 18 chapters, each telling of random adventures. There could be more because several of them will be a series. Like in the show! Anyway, normal stuff. Terra is MY character. No stealing! Pokemon does not belong to me. All related characters have the same deal. Ackers belongs to me. So do Rhybaby, "Rai", the glitchy Raichu, Fearful the cowardly Fearow, Vinesgalor, "Vines", the neglected Venasaur, that Gengar I forgot the nickname of and SAILOR the Dewgong who needs a better name that I can't change because someone won't let me. The Chocobo Music was conducted by Nobuo Uematsu for Final Fantasy. It does not belong to me. If you can't place the tune, search 'Chocobo MP3' on Ask or Google or something. You're bound to get one. Not sure which one, though. There are too many. Final Fantasy itself does not belong to me.
Episode 5: A Pokemon's Life
When we last left Ackers and co., we saw that Ackers and Terra had formed a mental link thingie. So, Ackers can tell what she's thinking and vice versa. But what haven't we done in a while? Checked in on the rest of Terra's Pokemon!
---INSIDE THE POKEBALL UNIVERSE---
Just to let you know, Gengar and Ackers are the only ones who speak English. But we're translating.
Everyone but Ackers was in one area. Gengar was reading some sort of book, Vines and Sailor were playing War, Fearful was having a panic attack, and Rai was singing. "Do do do do do do do dooooooooooooo doooooooooooooooooooooo doooooooooooooooooooo! Do do dododo do doooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! Do do dododo do doooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!" Rai sang. It was the Chocobo music and EVERYONE knew it. The tune was played frequently in Terra's favorite game series; Final Fantasy.
Gengar covered her ears. "Will you PLEASE shut up? I'm trying to read!" Rai stopped and started to play his CD player. Everyone knew not to anger a ghost. Why? Because ghosts tend to feast on dreams. And having your dream eaten is not fun. "Thank you." Gengar then started to read a book she had.
"Where'd you get a book?" Fearful asked, trembling. He was afraid that Rai would use Thunder on Gengar, and the amount of electric power would hit him.
"I got it from a friend at the Pokemon Tower. She wrote it, but it's not all that good. It's sort of hypnotizing, though. I think she used Hypnosis on it to make sure anyone who touches it has to read the whole thing." She kept on reading.
"… may I see?" asked Vines.
Gengar clutched the book to her chest. "My book!" She hissed, growled, and said, "No touchy!"
Sailor looked at her with pleading eyes. "Pweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease?"
"NO!"
Rai looked up and paused the CD player. "What's so great about it? Lemme see."
Everyone gulped. Fearful squeaked, Sailor backed away, and Vines stood his ground. Rai was the strongest member of the team and could take on just about anything, even a Dugtrio, and win. Fearful was terrified, but for good reason: EVERYONE knew that ice and electricity killed flying, and Fearful flew, and Rai zapped things to death. Sailor knew that water conducted electricity, and he was always coated in water. Vines knew that electricity wasn't all that effective against plants, and he was a dinosaur with a tree on his back!
Gengar looked up. "No." Everyone rushed back a few feet.
Rai raised an eyebrow. "Why? Let me see!"
"No!" Gengar vehemently shook her head.
"Gimme!"
"NO!"
"Let me SEE!"
"Not in a million years!"
"I COMMAND YOU TO LET ME SEE!"
"If I let you see, I would have to kill you 'cause you'd read it all and it would take a while and I wanna read it too!"
"TOO BAD! LET ME SEE!"
"NEVER!"
"I HAVE MY WAYS OF MAKING YOU DO THINGS!"
"YOU'LL HAVE TO PRY THIS BOOK OUT OF MY DEAD HANDS!"
"YOU'RE ALREADY DEAD!"
"THEN TRY TO PRY IT OUT OF MY DEAD HANDS, IDIOT!"
"YOU HAVE NO CLUE HOW MUCH PAIN YOU'RE GONNA BE IN!"
"I FEEL NO PAIN! I'M DEAD!"
"RAICHU! WE'LL SEE ABOUT THAT!"
Thus, Rai charged at Gengar, full speed. Gengar laughed, and then stepped aside, taunting Rai. Rai growled, then turned, ramming into Gengar. But the attack didn't work as Rai went right through Gengar. She laughed. She laughed her head off. Rai growled. He was about to use Thunder (much to the sorrow of Fearful and Sailor) when who should show up but Ackers the Mewtwo.
"Hi, guys!" he said, enthusiastically. Fearful screeched and started flying around in circles. Because of the distraction, Gengar ran for her 'life'. Rai wasn't paying attention, so Thunder hit Ackers instead of Gengar, who had run away. Then, there was dead silence. Then growling. Then screams of sheer terror. After the Agatha incident, EVERYONE knew that Ackers was NOT to be messed with. Who had caused the scream? Rai. Why? Ackers was currently trying to kill him with a spoon which he had stolen from Sabrina. Vines watched (frightened) as the new guy who seemed so innocent tried to disembowel the strongest Pokemon he had ever met with a spoon. It was funny, actually.
"Dude, I'm sorry!" Rai screamed.
"No, you aren't!" Ackers said, his eyes glowing a light violet.
"Knock it off!" Rai complained, glowing purple and dancing in a circle.
"Why don't you make me?" Ackers challenged, the glow in his eyes becoming bright enough to illuminate a circle with a diameter of 5 inches.
Rai started to release a violet aura, and then started smacking himself with his tail. He then started to float a good 3 inches off of the black floor. He did a nice back flip. Vines held up a sign that said '9.5' on it. Gengar returned and held up another sign that said '8.3' on it. Rai then flew into a wall. Gengar laughed. Vines chuckled. Ackers glared at Rai. Sailor giggled. Fearful panicked.
Rai stood up, determined to get back at the giant psychic floating cat. "My turn, Psycat!" Rai said. He charged at Ackers, rage shining in his brown eyes. The mouse tackled the psychic cat, then used lots of electric powers on him. Ackers was caught off guard and was unable to stop the attack. The tackle knocked the wind out of him and the electricity paralyzed him.
"You… are… dead… rat!" Ackers managed to move his lips enough to say that. He launched the mouse into the ceiling, which was at least 9999 ft. above. Gengar then noticed something.
"No friendly fire! It's rule number one!" Gengar screamed, having remembered the first rule to being tame. She knew she was risking a lot of things, but this had to stop.
Ackers glared menacingly at Gengar. But he let Rai down. Rai was constantly trying to get at Ackers, but Ackers was stopping him psychically. Gengar stared, then started reading again. Vines and Sailor went back to War, and Fearful had fainted from fear. Rai looked at Ackers and said something simple: "I WILL get my revenge, Ackers. In any way possible. I have word with the outside world."
Ackers looked at his right hand, noticing that he only had three fingers. "So do I. What's your point?" Then, the Pokeball of DOOM returned and took away Rai, leaving Ackers to examine his thumb-less hands. He looked at Gengar and said, "Why don't I have thumbs?"
Gengar didn't look up as she said, "I don't know and I don't care."
"Okay, then…" was the reply. Ackers then realized he was bored. He looked over Gengar's shoulder and said, "Whatcha reading?
"Something."
"What kind of something?"
"You don't want to read it."
"Just tell me what it is!"
"No."
"Please?"
"… fine. It's a love story. Okay?"
Now, Ackers was confused. What's love? He wanted to ask. What's so great about it? I guess I'll find out later…
The Pokeball of DISASTER returned and released Rai. He was a little more relaxed now. So he went and started to write something in a book. Very shortly after Rai's return, the Pokeball of KISMET came back and took away Vines. Sailor looked around, then looked at Vines' and his cards. He then arranged them so that he would win every round. Sailor then started whistling some random tune.
Without looking up, Rai and Gengar said in unison, "I saw that, Sailor." Sailor smiled innocently, then went back to whistling.
Ackers looked at some cards and got an idea from something he saw once.
---FLASHBACK!---
"Ah…" Ackers sighed. Things were going swimmingly. Nothing that spelled certain doom was going on. The Arboks and Sandslashes weren't trying to kill each other (wowie caboodles!) and were singing a song. Chanceys were singing. Rhydons were hunting mice. Raichus were dancing. Kadabras and Hypnos were having a friendly psychic fight. Your occasional Wigglytuffs were catching flies. Peace. Quiet. Until…
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" Series of screams were heard, followed by the occasional explosion. Yup. The Electrodes had come back. They usually made things just blow up… literally. A Kadabra slipped and sent WAY too much PSI waves into a Hypno's mind. It got angry and put it to sleep. A Wigglytuff swallowed in fear. It had a fly in its mouth. It fainted. A Chansey went off key and got yelled at by the other Chanseys. A Rhydon slipped and fell over, making a VERY loud thud. A Raichu missed one step and tripped, knocking down a long chain of very angry Raichus. The Arboks were now going for the Sandslashes throats. The Sandslashes were also trying to slice the Arboks into itty bitty little bite-sized pieces. There was lots of cursing and stuff. Ackers growled.
"Can't a guy meditate on his own special plateau in peace anymore! I should send those Electrodes back to the place they came from!" Ackers then floated off.
When he got to the maze of DOOM ((have you ever BEEN in the Cerulean Cave? There's this HUGE maze you have to go through!)) he saw a Chansey running around. It ran into him. He raised an eyebrow. The Chansey screamed. Then ran into a wall. Ackers continued on his merry way.
When he got through the maze of DOOM, he saw an Electrode. It was rolling towards a Raichu at a very high speed. Ackers then stopped it.
"What is going on here?" he demanded. The Raichu spoke up. She was his most loyal cave minion.
"He was gonna attack me because I said he was short tempered!" She yelled over the commotion.
"WHAT DID YOU SAY, RAT!" The Electrode screamed, glaring at the Raichu.
Ackers sighed, putting his paw to his forehead. "How did I get myself into this role?" he muttered. "Chu, you shouldn't instigate others." ((That Raichu will forever be known as Chu from now on.)) Ackers looked over to the Electrode, seething with rage. "Tro, you shouldn't be so easily angered. It's not healthy."
Tro then got REALLY angry. "Oh, so YOU, the best ruler of this cave we EVER had is against me, too!" he screamed. "EVERYONE'S against Tro now! Tro's the ENEMY! Tro's just going to RUIN EVERYTHING! THAT DOES IT!" Tro started glowing and then he exploded. Ackers got blasted against the wall. It hurt.
---END FLASHBACK!---
Ackers blinked, realizing he had just spaced out and he was now in the POKEBALL OF FATE!
Wow. That was… random. Ah, well. You REALLY have to be in the Cerulean Cave! Curse you, Nintendo, for designing such a hard maze! Please review, etc., etc..
